I have questin regarding creatine, i pretty much bought "precision engineered" creatine, and the stuff was about 20 bucks for a 2000g container. I figured it was a crappy type of creatine because the price and the fact they recommended to take 45 g's (1 scoop) per serving lol

so heres my ques... will I really see any great effects of this creatine, or will I just get fat cause its ****ty creatine? Im working out 2 hours a day 3 times a week possibly 4 if I can make it. (due to extreme lack of free time)

Creatine won't directly make you fat. It'll basically be less potent so the effects will be smaller.

Oh, I see the one you bought, its 2lbs of creatine/sugar premix.

Well, creatine will not make you fat, its the sugar you need to take with it that may add a few pounds. But thats with all creatine monohydrate supplements.

Its about the same amount of sugar as a soda. So everytime you have a serving of creatine its like drinking a soda. Take 3 a day and thats about 3 sodas worth of sugar (~100 grams). Imagine cramming 20 heaping teaspoons of sugar into your mouth.
